CarComplaints.com Notes: Whenever a new product is introduced, there's bound to be some problems. And man oh man, does the 2006 Commander have some problems.
It's the plight of the 1st-generation adopter: you get the newest and shiniest in exchange for a handful of issues that get ironed out in future versions. But what happens when that handful of issues becomes a bucketload? The 2006 Commander has quality control issues like the door handles breaking off and the sunroof leaking. But what's truly worrisome is the electrical problems like the vehicle shutting down unexpectedly, gauges going crazy or the cruise control having a mind of its own.
Bottom line: if you want a Jeep Commander, you're better off looking at a later model year.
About six months ago, our driver side seat belt chime starting going off even if the buckle was clicked. We got it fixed at a Jeep dealership for $500 - ridiculous! Now the same problem is happening with our passenger side seat belt. I just don't see the point in spending another $500 to fix this when the seat belt is working properly.
